Making a Business Case for Social Change

Exchange

Are you interested in organising civil-society action or creating inclusive working conditions for marginalised people by means of social enterprises? Then join the Making a Business Case for Social Change exchange programme!

Structure and content

In the Making a Business Case programme you will gain skills in becoming a change agent.

Across the world we see a movement in civil society towards the creation of new ways of organising living and working conditions (for marginalised people) with a renewed focus on social inclusion, sustainability and growth.

To meet these challenges and make a business case for social change, this programme introduces you to the art of combining co-creation, social justice, social enterprising and design thinking.

Co-creation

Build partnerships across professions and sectors of society

Work with empowerment strategies and participatory democracy

Facilitate new networks of change

Social justice

Analyse social structures

Identify disharmonies

Take an ethical standpoint

Address power-structures and strive towards local and global sustainability

Social enterprise

Organise people, power and resources

Develop business-models for social enterprise

Gain knowledge about fund-raising and legal questions

Design thinking

Idea generation

Prototyping, branding, marketing and storytelling

Work with real life challenges

The programme includes on-campus instruction and guest lectures as well as study trips around Denmark, where the students explore a variety of social enterprises. These hands-on encounters enable international networking, invite the students to make cross-national comparisons and pave the way for international collaboration in the future.

In a vibrant international student environment and in close collaboration with the local student entrepreneurship centre, you will work with real life challenges and the outcome of the semester will be your own individual business plan for a social enterprise.
